So, here I am doing some paperwork while I'm clicking away on the Forum, and as I pull out a stack of papers from a file folder it dawns on me..... Binder Clips.
Lightweight, strong, multi-use, and they come in several sizes..
I did a Forum search and the only place I saw them mentioned was here: http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...ht=binder+clip
And so I'm thinking that having a few in my pack may not be a bad idea..........
They would be perfect for keeping all your briefs together........ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!! Get it? Lawyer joke!!!! Underwear!!!! I slay myself!!!!!!!!
Oh,, My dear fellow, have you considered a vacation? :) On a serious note, you are right, can't hurt to have a few, many uses are possible
They wouldn't work for long. Only briefly.

Clip fishing lines from bank,like a down riger clip
A few more,however,have to fill up on more gin & tonic now
Bad for your liver. Too much quinine.Quote:

Use them for setting up tarp shelters. Fold the bottoms to create a box and clip in place to keep mud out during a storm.

I use Binder clips for all types of things and they are tough. In particular I use them as tarp clamps. The big ones for heavy apps like a vinyl or poly tarp, and smaller ones over paracord for sidewalls and sheets, Etc. They work well for clamping veneer when glueing up too. And last but least, to close the windscreen on my stove.
Compact.....check
multi use.....check
inexpensive..check
easy to carry (it can clip onto anything)....check
readily available..check
I would think you could use this to make a trigger for a trap. rig it like a trip wire?
good for trap triggers etc.
I've had a few in my Last Aid / Repair kit for some time now. Wish they came in a brighter color.
They are known to rust, BTW. I guess they didn't figure wet environments when designing them.
Brighter than these?Quote:

- Hold plastic bags closed.
And if you REALLY need to go and there's no men's room around............. :innocent:
